I'm not sure if this topic have been already on thread discussion. But, anyways this is the current thought running in
my inquisitive mind. And wants to know how someone handle a given scenario.
And here it goes....

Will your dating acct site/s still remains activated or de-activated even if you are already involved in a romantic relationship?

I'm probably the wrong person to answer since I've never really viewed forum sites as dating sites. However, my reasons deactivating or remaining active on a forum site have nothing to do with my relationship status.

I would delete or deactivate my account on a dating site, but I wouldn't easily leave here. Likely be less active, yes. But I like the forums :)
I'm here for the forums, not really for dating as most everyone is on another continent.

my understanding is - you decide when to de-activate; and there is no clock ticking which means you will remain de-activated until you decide to re-activate the account...

It is advisable to quit using dating sites , especially if you find yourself in a relationship , and one that you found on a dating site .
Things get complicated if you are still on ... if you wanna keep contac with friends you made on the forums etc , you better have their personal email or contact details .... and if you don't have that , well you should not term them as friends.... acquaintance, is more appropriate and treated as such .... just saying!!!!

Even if I found a partner, I would stay active here. I found some nice friends, and I don't want to miss them.

I've been in a relationship with a woman I met thru M2 nearly 3 years ago.
She left but I am still here for the forums.

M2 is set up kinda as a twin site.
On one side you have the 'dating' profiles, searches and messaging.
On the other side you have the forums.

I no longer update my profile or use the searches. I delete messages without opening them unless they are from someone I know from the forums.
From time to time I clear the 'who viewed me' list by selecting all and deleting.

She knows I am active in the forums. I am also active in many other forums not related to dating.
The thing is, she knows I choose her. I'm not looking anymore. I know she chooses me. We are adults and act accordingly. I don't dictate who she is or what she does. She does not dictate who I am or what I do.

It all depends on your motivations and your integrity. If you sneak onto the site to look at other people with the intent of finding someone 'better' your relationship is not as great as you think it is. Chances are, M2 is only part of that problem. Essentially, it is lying and relationships built on lies fail.

If you have problems with self-control...deactivate but there's obviously deeper issues you should address.
If your relationship is fragile...deactivate but there's probably some other reason why your relationship will fail.
Jealousy in a relationship leads to deeper problems. It also indicates personal trust issues.
If you choose wisely your relationship will flourish.
If you choose poorly, anything can ruin the relationship.

Your choice to deactivate or stay is entirely up to you.
Choose Wisely

Back in aught 8, this was a "social networking" site.

I'm here for the forums, not really for dating.
I think there are some nice topics to share friend's ideas.
